e.g. you have to restart
your browser and are logged out in the process: all open tabs are
redirected to Special:Userlogin, and you have to log in a dozen times,
or
manually edit URLs.
Is there any use case for this scenario why to have a login page when
returnto/returntoquery is set and you are already logged in? My idea
behind this: You have to reload the page in all cases (with redirect to
login and without, with a reload using browser (F5 e.g.) or with a click
on login on login page). So maybe the following implementation helps:
If you are already logged in and returnto/returntoquery is set, you will
be redirect to the returnto location directly without the "you are
already loggedin, login with another account" screen. So, to come back
to your use case, you login in one tab and hit F5 to all other tabs and
will be redirected to the pages you requested as a logged in user.
Just an idea :)
Kind regards

Yes. Actually, that is existing functionality. Special:Userlogin will
redirect users
if the returnto (and optionally returntoquery) are specified. (The

a hook intervenes).
The other exception is when you are already logged in (in which case
you
get a very confusing form telling you to log in as another user). This
change makes that behavior much more annoying when e.g. you have to
restart
your browser and are logged out in the process: all open tabs are
redirected to Special:Userlogin, and you have to log in a dozen times,
